This creature bares a strong resemblance to the [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]] from ''Pikmin 2''. The internal name, however, is quite different: <code>moguraimo</code> ({{j|もぐらいも|mogura imo}} means "mole caterpillar"), when it used to be <code>imomushi</code>. Appearance-wise, it is slightly larger than before, and unless the texture mapping of the model is incorrect, its skin is mostly purple; besides that, its eyes are slightly larger, it has antennae, and its namesake whiskers are gone. In terms of behavior, it acts exactly the same as the ''[[#kakureimo|kakureimo]]''.{{cite youtube|GZHcc8mZKHA|of the ''moguraimo'' in action}} Given how it acts the same as the ''kakureimo'', has a similar name to it, and sports a similar color scheme, it's safe to say that the two creatures are somehow related. However, due to its striking resemblance to an already-existing enemy, the model may just be a placeholder. The following can be observed from the game's files:
